Omaha Poker
Omaha is another popular card game online. A lot of the
major card rooms have tables dealing Omaha games, and finding a game of Omaha isn't difficult at all.
For those who have never played Omaha, it bears a striking resemblence to Texas Hold'em. Players
are dealt hole cards, four of them. You may only use two when putting together your hand,
so if you see four aces in your hand, it's a bittersweet moment.
Besides the hole cards, there are five community cards placed on the table. You must use three of the
community cards to finish your hand. Just remember, "Two from the hole, three from the flop. Two from the hole, three from the flop."
Omaha is basically Hold'em with more cards to choose from when putting together
your hand. These extra cards mean that putting together a strong hand is easier. More strong hands,
more times you can stay in until the end. I think that makes the game more exciting.
Unlinke Hold'em, not every single cardroom on the net deals Omaha games, but many of the
big reliable rooms do.
